Hi there folks,
I have registered here after day or two of searching the internet and i would like someone to give me answers to few of my questions.
I saw users who offers such services (sms verification) so they must be more knowledgeable than me and im hoping they will be kind enough to explain me a little bit more about those things.
1.
In real life, if you have sim card and you send sms to someone in your country you will pay fee (in my country its circa $0.045 for 1 sms , i checked right now). If you send sms to someone who is not in your country, you pay more.
So how someone can send sms for free, even if the person who receives it, is in god knows what country, 3000 miles away from sender???
Someone should pay for that "free" sms right, or not?
2.
I saw on the internet term "Virtual Mobile Numbers" and mostly they are used for verification ( 1-way sms) and there are "Phone Numbers" that acts as standard mobile ones and offer 2-way sms ( you can send and receive sms).
How people create those "numbers"?
They pay to get them or create them out of thin air with programming languages?
Or there are other options?
3.
There are services that gives you new phone number.
Some give you "Virtual Number" and some even provide you with number from real sim cards, if there are any difference at all?
You can pay monthly fee to use your new number for unlimited sms (send and receive across the globe).
But, can you use your new number for purchasing goods through sms? (On some sites you can buy things via sms).
If you pay for sending normal sms, that means the number provided have credits (you bought credits for money or as it is called you have prepaid number) or owner will get the bill at the end of month (postpaid number), either way that means you can use new number for buying stuff ,right?
I hope that someone will answer me and if so, i want to thank you in advance,
Cheers o/
